It is about that time of year. Everyone has or will be sifting through paperwork, then getting their taxes filed. Money coming in or going out,
it can be stressful.

Here is my proposal to make it a bit of fun, and try to help the SETI crew at the same time:

I propose people that are receiving a return donate a percentage to the our
fine folks at SETI.. Get started here. You pick the percentage that sounds good to you, anywhere
between 1% to 100%. But Shhhhhhh....

Please do NOT state what the percent you choose is. I would really rather not
want people making public their actual return amount. No one needs to know,
and that is the kind of information you SHOULD keep private.

Donation number and actual donation amount, feel free to post to show you were here.

This is of course USA centric.. but we have a lot of Setizens from here.

Well, not sure anyone else is going to salute. Just got my own preliminary results.. and it is not in positive numbers. So.. I will be making a donation shortly anyway. Hope others fare better this fine tax season.

People do realize how the US income tax system works, I hope? Those who don't should each claim zero exemptions and request a larger additional amount taken out of our paychecks. That way we could get the government to pay for what we give to seti and to all our other charitable interests using our tax refunds! What cleaver idea!!
